World's First Proven Cancer Preventive?

What May Become the World’s First Proven Cancer Preventive (and Something Bigger) Ignored by Big Pharma

by Bill Sardi

Recently by Bill Sardi: Your Money: Slip Sliding Away

It is not surprising to learn that Big Pharma has shown no interest in what may become the world’s first proven cancer prevention pill. If big profits aren’t promised, pharmaceutical companies predictably pass on such a development.

The pill is a relatively safe FDA-approved generic drug, prescribed millions of times to help control diabetes, and it costs maybe 10-cents a day. But what is surprising is that public health authorities appear to be remiss in announcing this breakthrough. They are the agency in society commissioned to address important public health issues such as this.

Data has been accumulating for 5 years now showing metformin (Glucophage), an anti-diabetic drug, dramatically reduces the risk for cancer and prolongs life among patients who are battling cancer.

The data does not solely involve experiments with laboratory mice that often don’t translate to humans. The data involves human studies.

Remember the big to-do that the New York Times created in 1998 over a cancer drug that a Nobel Prize winner said would “cure cancer in two years?” (That quotation was later denied.) On the day that news story was released the stock price soared for the company making the developmental drug then said to cure cancer. But for metformin, a drug first approved by the FDA in 1958, there is little fanfare. Its patent expired years ago and it is a generic drug with low profitability. A quick check on Google shows just six news outlets online are distributing the story. Of the 7 billion people on the planet, how many will learn of this?

 

If this were some potential new blockbuster drug, the National Institutes of Health would be grandstanding it in a press release and even a press conference. Instead it is a news agency – in this instance Bloomberg News – who is independently breaking the story (let’s hear it for a free press). Bloomberg reporters quote a researcher who says drug companies passed up sponsorship of studies involving metformin and cancer when they realized their patents would expire before the research study was completed.

Slow progress

Frustratingly, science is moving too slowly towards adoption of such a pill. It wants to conduct another decade of research before drawing any conclusions. A number of large long-term studies are underway but not scheduled to report any data till 2016-2017.

Cancer patients haven’t ten years to wait. Whether oncologists begin to prescribe it is another question. It isn’t being heralded in oncology journals. The American Cancer Society website is ignoring this breakthrough as well.

How convincing is the evidence? Very.

Just how convincing is the currently available evidence? First, diabetics have a much higher incidence of cancer. So it should not be surprising that an anti-diabetic drug quells cancer.

Second, the risk of subsequent cancer diagnosis was significantly reduced among patients with adult-onset diabetes who took metformin. The most compliant patients were more protected against cancer than those who failed to follow their pill regimen. Another study shows an impressive 56% relative reduction in the risk for breast cancer among diabetics taking metformin compared to other anti-diabetic drugs.

      That’s right folks and it sure ain’t curry spice! :grin:

      Wait until they discover that for the metformin to actually work, the person should have diabetes. What a kick in the pants that would be. In any case, it’s just another opportunity to keep pushing pills and an excuse to keep modern chemistry alive for future potential pill takers.
      Yum! :mrgreen:

      Metformin is not a necessarily “safe” drug without significant side effects. Don’t go there people. Start harmless, then ramp. You can always take poison later. Cancer is caused by Candida Albicons. Yep, 100% of all cancer patients have super yeast infections. Most are treated for these along with chemo. Big Pharma and Dr.s have known this for years. Do yourself a favor…treat the yeast first…and see if your tumor disappears…like thousands have. Killing yeast is not easy, which is why it (cancer) can “come back”…. Baking soda and organic real maple syrup (3/1 ratio) 2tbls daily. Can’t hurt and will give you as long as you want. Stage 4? Dr. Tulio Simoncini has a 99% cure rate by injecting tumors with sterile bicabinate solution. Google him. The treatments are cheap (except for the flight, but hey, see Rome and get cured!). Moreover, what do you have to lose????? You can alway take poison at hundred of thousand of dollars, bankrupt yourself and die from the chemo late, right? Someone benefits from the way we look at, and treat cancer. Think for a change.

        Are you actually this stupid or did you hit your head recently? Candida?? Please you idiots, I’m begging you to go to college. I don’t know where you gullible morons pick this stuff up.

        • Anonymous

          ” I don’t know where you gullible morons pick this stuff up”. Obviously YOU didn’t go to college because you obviously have difficulty with reading. The person you are calling names gave you all of the information.
          Presumably you live in a strange and lonely World where everyone that doesn’t agree with your way of thinking is an idiot, stupid and a moron.
          Your only contribution is name calling without any facts or information.

          Now I wonder who is the REAL moron here.

      A drug that prevents cancer, did I miss something here? Drugs are made up of chemicals which are toxic to our bodies. This is just another one of the FDA’s attempts to act like they care about our health, when the truth is that they want us in the hospital. ALL prescriptions cause liver damage, and can cause liver failure. My finances mother recently found out she needs a liver transplant but we dont know the extent of it because he can’t afford an MRI. She was on anti depressants for many years and continues to take them, in addition, she had also been taking blood pressure pills for a short amount of time. Personally, I stay away from anything FDA approved. 85% of FDA approved sunscreens have cancer causing ingredients, and the chances of getting skin cancer from tanning is slim to none. The benefits from the vitamin d produced from tanning are far more beneficial!!! Diabetes, osteoporosis, regulates blood cells and reduces the risk of cancer by at least 70%! Tanning also helps us produce endorphins, helps hormone levels, and strengthens immunity!

      Forgot to mention, prescription drugs are one of the leading killers in America.

        Forgot to mention, no they’re not. The leading causes are unintentional injury, cancer, genetic defects, murder, suicide, etc etc. Your bs claim doesn’t even rank in the top 100.

          Yes they are, you buffoon. Don’t talk dross, because you don’t know the facts.

          I’m not sure where you’re getting your facts. I personally dont believe The CDC, FDA, big pharma, or anywhere on the mainstream should be considered a reliable source either. If I’m so wrong and you’re so right, simply google ‘prescription drugs leading cause of deaths in America’ and please prove me wrong.

          This is what convinced me:

          It’s amazing how car crashes were the first leader in death for decades, and now pharmaceutical pills by overdose surpasses it! Get your info clear, my friend.

      Why use this poison if there are soooooo many natural cancer cures?
      See for example http://galacticchannelings.com/english/cures_against_cancer.html

        Nobody is gonna click on some shady link. There are no natural cures for cancer. You nuts can scream about it all day but it doesn’t make it any more true.

        • BreeAnna00

          Do a little research before making yourself look foolish. There are so many natural cures for cancer, in fact its probably the single best way to cure cancer because there are side effects or risks. Here’s an amazing article: http://drleonardcoldwell.com/cancer/only-answer-to-cancer/. Chem-o-therapy which consists of cancer causing chemicals, and has a success rate of less than 3%. It’s also very well known that radiation causes cancer.

        • Anonymous

          I’ve done years upon years of research. I know exactly what I’m talking about and I have the credentials to back it up. You on the other hand are a gullible moron with not so much as a single credit of college-level science. Surgery is almost always the best option with an incredibly high success rate approaching 100% in many forms of cancer.

          I never cease to be dumbfounded by the sheer idiocy of people when they think they’re getting the right info from scam artists online. Chemotherapy cures many cancers and while success rates may not be very good, it beats eating pounds of curry spice and taking shots of vinegar you dimwit. It’s also very well known that radiation cures cancer.

          I would have never thought a person with such high level of education would say a comment as rude as yours. A complete lack of maturity, professionalism, and respect for oneself and others.. I would expect someone at the level you claim to be, to be a leader and happily help educate another rather than dumb them down and judge their college education when you have not a clue. Sorry but you completely discredited yourself.

          On the other hand, i do agree that there are circumstances requiring surgery. However, all cancers form in cells. When a persons cells become unregulated they then multiply and divide and a tumor starts to form. Being vitamin d deficient can cause cells to become unregulated, not many know this and they continue to stuff themselves with GMO and artificial sweeteners.

          Where is the evidence proving radiation is safe.

        • Wake up!

          Can you prove what you say?

          I don’t think you can, you don’t even know what cancer is do you?
          Or what all cancers have in common, or what the whalberg affect is do you?

          Do you even know what the ph balance is? Acidic and alkaline?

          If you want a debate, or a schooling which is more the correct term, I got you!

          Stop spreading lies, and for your info all the chemicals that are in any medicine came or derived from herbs and plants ( phytochemicals)!

        • Wake up!

          I won’t even go into bacteria, the healthy flora.

    • KNOW

      Just more BS…the only cure for cancer is to stop putting toxins in your body, GMOs, pesticides, etc. The body has to work overtime to eliminate all the poison you are putting in it. Then a virus, bacteria comes along and it says enough already, can’t handle anymore, that is why you get sick…period! Natural cures will only work if you stop consuming poison, otherwise you will be right back where you started.

      first of all great article and second of all some of these comments are beyond ignorant, if you don”t follow alternative options please stick with chemo and radiation therapy which according to the 2004 journal of oncology you have a 97.1% chance of dying within 5 years of recieving treatment, for any one seriously looking for alternative safe natural alternatives there are too many to list but please don”t take my word for it , below is a 2 part link of the Bob Tuskin Radio show on you tube where he interviews Robert Wright who is the executive director of the american anti cancer institute , this man is an expert in this field so maybe you can take his word for it , please enjoy and if you know anyone with cancer this would be a great start and has much information to follow up , all the best , jules

      The difference with giving a reference and explaining, I wish I new what is better. Because zombie brain dead indoctrinated fools just can’t focus, either that or it’s their fake pride that everyone thinks they have!

      I’ll wait for your response mr spreading lies, or clearly your just lost and need guidance.
